David Trevellyan Series (Books in Order)

The David Trevellyan series follows Royal Navy Intelligence operative David Trevellyan, who goes undercover in risky international missions to uncover deep-seated conspiracies and exact his own brand of justice.

Written under the name Andrew Grant, the series has a lean, fast-paced style about a morally complex protagonist operating in the grey zones of intelligence work. It can be read in any order, although publication order is recommended.

Detective Cooper Devereaux Series (Books in Order)

The Detective Cooper Devereaux series follows Birmingham, Alabama police detective Cooper Devereaux, an orphan raised by a veteran cop, who operates with high-risk tactics and makes no apologies for his unconventional methods. Set against the layered social landscape of Birmingham, the series combines atmospheric Southern noir with complex cases that consistently connect back to Devereaux’s own troubled past.

The series is best read from book 1, False Positive, as Cooper Devereaux’s backstory is central to the series, and it builds gradually as the series goes on.

Paul McGrath Series (Books in Order)

The Paul McGrath series follows former Army intelligence agent turned courthouse janitor Paul McGrath. The series is set in New York City, which is the perfect cover for his mission to expose corruption in the legal system and find justice for his murdered father. Part John Grisham, part Robert Crais in the way it feels, the series combines legal thriller elements with a vigilante moral compass involving fast-paced plotting.

Each book works well as a standalone novel, although reading in order gives fuller context for McGrath’s personal arc.

  1. I agree with your commentary of Andrew Grant. I enjoyed his novel, “Even” greatly and recognized so many commonalities be-tween his character and that of Jack Reacher. I guess I should not have been surprised that he was a brother of Lee Child (Jim Grant.) I also was pleased to learn of Mr. Child’s real name.

    As I typed this note, and of the typos I made while doing so, I probably should not write the following. However, here I go.

    Your commentary noted the need for proofreading. Unfortunately, so does your commentary. Perhaps you were on a tight deadline and could not spell/grammar check it.

    1.Paragraph after your noting the need for proofreading:
    “…….series comes a bit closer (s) to….” An “s” where one is incorrect.
    2.Paragraph commenting on “Invisible:”
    Insert “he” between “job” and “is. “In this job ^^ is pretty much invisible, and even better,”
    3. continuing: Insert an “h” before “as” “he ^as security clearance and access to the entire building.

  2. I’m looking forward to more Paul McGrath books. These are the first books of Grant’s that I’ve read. Now I’m ready to start the Deveraux series.
